2. Underworld
🔥
They opened their eyes to see the place that Morgana calls home
"Hello?" She shouts and suddenly the sound of barking erupted and crashing and suddenly a three headed dog growls at them bearing their razor sharp teeth
"Cerberus!" She exclaims with a smile as the dog laid on the floor and lowered his heads
"Oh, you softy." She says in a baby voice.
"There she is! There's my little princess." A voice says
"Dad!" She shouts and rushes up to him and hugs him
"Are you getting taller?" He asks ruffling her hair and he turns to Henrik.
"Hello." He says
"Hi." Henrik says
"So, how was the land of the living?" He asks them while grabbing a drink
"Well, I met another soulmate." She says and he spits out his drink.
"What? How? When?" He asks
"I met Elijah, I was kidnapped earlier by 2 vampires, one is dead." Morgana says putting down a bottle of alcohol
"You. The Goddess of Torture was kidnapped."
"Hey, I was going to kill them but when I found out it was Elijah. Had to meet him." She shrugs.
"So, where is he?" Hades asks
"Hopefully not still stabbed against the door." Henrik says pouring himself and Morgana a glass
"Your little friends should know better than to try to kill an Original Vampire." Hades nods
"Well as much as they are my friends all they know is that I am Elijah's soulmate." She says.
"You said 'one of them is dead' that means the other lives and they will probably tell your friends about the Legends of souls." He says
"Ah, yes. The story of the connection between the supernatural world and the gods." She smiles.
"You need to change." Her father says looking out her outfit
"What's wrong with my outfit?" She asks
"Your not fitting my what the mortals call 'aesthetic'. This is the underworld. Not a 90s rock concert." He says and snaps his fingers and her outfit burns into a black gown with flowers on it.
"Much better." Hades smiles
"That outfit better not be ruined. I liked it." Morgana says and he just shrugs
"So, how is mother?" She asks
"She's wonderful, completely gorgeous and amazing like always." He says
"Whipped." She coughs and smiles at her father.
Even though her father kidnapped her mother, she always wanted to worshiped the ground she walked on and be loved her with all of their heart. When she found out she had soulmates she felt hopeful that one day she'll meet her soulmates and they will love her as much as she loves them.
"So, what happens now?" Hades asks
"Hopefully the time we get back Niklaus will be there." She replies
"Yes, yes." He mutters.
"So, Demeter has invited you two to Olympus, to see your mother." Hades says
"In Olympus? Wow." She says, she had gotten banned from visiting Demeter for a reason she doesn't like to talk about.
"Yes, now remember, don't call Demeter grandmother. It makes her feel old." Hades reminds, that was said reason
"And her being what? 10,000 years old doesn't make her feel old already?" Morgana asks.
"Do you want to go to Olympus or not?" Her father asks
"Yes, yes." She mutters
"When?" She asks.
"Tomorrow."

The Underworld, nearly 1,000 years ago
Morgana opened her eyes to see a note on her table as she picked it up and sat up to be faced with a dark blue dress with constellations along with the moon and the stars. With the note reading for her to 'look nice' and 'presentable'. She rolls her eyes with a scoff and walked to the dress and her finger tips lightly traced the soft fabric. She braided her hair into the bun after she put on her dress and walked to her father.
"There's my little princess. Happy Birthday." He says, they never really celebrated birthdays except the new thousands, so today they celebrated
"I am now 5,000 years old. I am not little." She says
"By the time I stop calling you that you'll not want me to." He says and she nods along.
"I have a gift, well, Aphrodite and I have a gift for you." Hades says
"Really, that's new, you working with Aphrodite." She says
"Yes well it's a very important gift."
"It will arrive here in a couple of minutes with her." He says.
"She's coming here? To the underworld?" Morgana asks
"Yes, like I said every important."
"Okay, gift is important." She nods
"Thank you for the dress." She says.
"You're welcome, your mother is sorry she can't be here." Hades says
"It's fine. Honestly." Morgana says, summer hasn't ended, so that meant her mother was still with hers.
"Hades!" An elegant voice calls out
"That's Aphrodite." Hades says
"Let's go." He says holding out his hand and she laughs and takes his hand, they walk to where she is and Morgana sees a blonde man standing with her.
"Happy birthday, Morgan." Aphrodite says wrapping her arms around her
"Thank you." She smiles
"You look beautiful." She compliments, Morgana always found it weird that Aphrodite herself was calling her beautiful.
"Aphrodite, her gift." Hades says
"Oh yes. You are going to love it."
"Am I really being referred as 'it'?" The man asks
"Sorry, sorry." She mutters walking back to him.
"Morgana, your father and I have given you the gift of a soulmate, this is Henrik. He died 10 years ago when he was 10 and his mother is a powerful witch who begged the gods for help." Aphrodite says.
"Not only is he your soulmate but his siblings are as well. Freya, Finn, Elijah, Niklaus, Kol and Rebekah." She explains further.
"They are the Original Vampires, like I said their mother is a powerful witch and made them vampires after he died." She says.
"Morgana, they are one of the only things protecting you from Zeus." Hades says and Morgana tenses up
"What?" She asks
"Zeus can't do anything to you when they are still alive and they have burned the one thing that can kill them." He reassures.
"What about him? Is he immortal?" She asks looking at Henrik
"He has trained like a god, Ares helped me and we have made him part Demigod." Aphrodite says
"Thank you." Morgana says hugging them both.
"Thank you."
🔥
Morgana awoke to the feeling of light kisses on her face as she opens her eyes to see Henrik
"Hello, my goddess." He says
"Hello." She says
"How are you feeling about going to Olympus?" He asks
"I'm good." Morgana says.
"Let's go." He says and she hugs him
"No. Couple more minutes." She says and he rolls his eyes and stood up with her still hugging him with her legs wrapped around him as he walks down to the main room.
"Morning." Hades says
"Morning." Henrik says and Morgana waves at her father
"Still tired?" He asks and she nods
"Did she sleep in the dress?" He asks looking at what his daughter was wearing
"She technically passed out." Henrik says and Hades chuckles.
"The portal should be here any minute." He says and Morgana groans and let's go of Henrik and walked to her father and hugs him
"I'll be back tomorrow, don't go completely insane." She says
"I already am completely insane. I'll miss you my little princess." He says in her hair as he hugs her.
They pull away and Hades clears his throat,
"It's time." He says and they walk to the place they arrived at and stepped in the circle
"Ready?" Henrik asks
"Always." She replies and soon blue flames engulf them and they disappear.
🔥
They opened their eyes once again to see a elegant place called Olympus. They walked down the steps to find a gateway of flowers and they walk hand in hand to the end to see a beautiful woman with red hair and another with brown hair and the two women turn to them.
"Mom." She says as Persephone hugs her daughter
"My sweet, sweet daughter." She says kissing her head and looks up
"Hello, Henrik." She says
"Hello." He says back and Morgana looks at Demeter.
"Hi, how are you?" Morgana says
"I'm well except what are you wearing, sweet girl. This is Olympus not the Underworld." Demeter says and then suddenly the dress turns into a pink one with flowers
"What is it with Gods and destroying my clothes?" She asks Henrik
"I'm so glad you're here I need to show you something." Persephone says to her daughter and takes her hand to show her a greenhouse.
"A greenhouse, in Olympus. That's not weird at all."
"Not technically a greenhouse, it's where I grow my flowers, it is the same healthy soil from earth, the same water. All of it is like earth." She says
"I didn't understand any of that but that's amazing mom." She says.
"So, have you met anyone of your soulmates?" Persephone asks
"Yes actually, I met Elijah." Morgana answers and Persephone turns to her daughter,
"You have! That's amazing!" Her mother hugs her
"Yes, so hopefully when we get back to Mystic Falls Nik will be there." Morgana says
"I'm so happy for you." She says.
"So, how are you and Henrik?" Persephone asks
"We are great." Morgana smiles
"I know that look, it's the same that your father and I share. You truly love him." She says
"Well we have been together for nearly a thousand years, so..." Morgana says and her mother rolls her eyes.
Then Henrik walks in
"Speak of the Devil." Morgana says
"Your mother wishes to speak to you." He says to Persephone and she nods and kisses her daughter's cheek
"I'll be back." She says and walks out of the greenhouse.
"Have we really been together for nearly a thousand years?" He asks
"Yes and we are still not married." She playfully says as she walks up the steps and she feels his hand grab hers and she turns
"Well don't completely ruin the surprise." He says and she looks up at him, even though she was standing on taller steps he was still taller than her, his face inches away from hers
"What?" She asks and he tucks a piece of her hair out of her face
"I love you, I only never did it sooner because I when we meet my siblings. Soon." He says
"Soon?" She asks
"Well I need to get a ring and practice all the time of what I am going to say and be really secretive to the point where you think I am being unfaithful and then right before you confront me I propose." He says and she laughs.
"So what do you say? Say yes to marrying me when I ask?" He asks and she nods
"Yes." She laughs and kisses him and he wraps his arms around her waist and lifts her, she gasps and giggles against her lips and he slowly walks down the steps as they continue to kiss.
